Introduction
With the continuous development of urban transportation, taxis, as an important means of transportation, not only carry the city’s transportation needs but also gradually evolve into a unique advertising platform. In particular, the widespread use of roof-mounted LED displays not only adds beautiful scenery to the city but also provides advertisers with an efficient and direct promotion channel.
1. Advertising value of taxi LED display
- Broad coverage
As an important part of urban public transportation, taxis have extremely high mobility. They travel through every corner of the city, from commercial areas to residential areas, from day to night, covering almost all areas of the city.
Therefore, the LED display screen installed on the roof of the taxi can effectively reach a wide range of people and achieve full coverage of advertising. This wide coverage makes taxi LED displays an ideal choice for brand promotion.
- High exposure
With its high brightness, high definition, and dynamic images, LED displays can stand out in complex urban environments and attract the attention of pedestrians and passengers.
Especially at night or in low-light environments, the brightness advantage of LED displays is more obvious, making advertising content more eye-catching. This high exposure rate not only improves the visibility of the ad but also enhances its memorability, thereby improving its effectiveness.
- Live Update
Taxi LED displays have the ability to update in real-time and can change advertising content at any time according to market demand and advertisers’ requirements. This flexibility allows advertisers to adjust advertising strategies in a timely manner according to market changes and marketing activity needs, ensuring the timeliness and relevance of advertising content.
At the same time, real-time updates can also attract passengers’ continuous attention and improve the interactivity and participation of advertisements.
- Highly targeted
The placement of taxi LED displays can be accurately positioned based on driving routes and time periods. Advertisers can choose taxi routes and time periods for advertising based on the travel habits and activity areas of the target audience.
This precise positioning can not only improve the effectiveness of advertising but also reduce advertising costs and maximize advertising benefits. At the same time, advertisers can also design more targeted advertising content for specific audience groups in different regions and time periods to improve the attractiveness and conversion rate of advertising.
2. Sources of revenue from taxi LED displays
1). Advertising rental fees
- Advertising space rental fees paid by advertisers:
This is the main source of revenue for taxi LED displays. Advertisers pay a certain fee to obtain the right to display advertisements on LED displays. The cost of advertising rental depends on many factors, such as the specifications, location, coverage, exposure, etc., of the LED display.
1.1). Pricing strategies and influencing factors of leasing fees
Geographical location: LED displays located in bustling business districts or densely populated areas have relatively high rental costs due to their high exposure rate and significant advertising effects.
Display specifications: The higher the size, resolution, brightness, and other specifications of the display screen, the better the display effect, and the rental fee will increase accordingly.
Time of placement: Rental fees will also increase if ads are placed during peak hours or during specific events.
Advertising content: Customized advertising content is often more engaging than generic advertising content, so the rental fee may also be higher.
2). Value-added service revenue
- Data analysis services:
Provide advertising effect data to advertisers to help them understand key indicators such as advertising exposure, clicks, and conversion rates. This data can help advertisers evaluate advertising effectiveness, optimize advertising strategies, and improve advertising effectiveness. The cost of data analysis services is usually priced based on the service content and the amount of data.
- Customized advertising services:
Customize exclusive advertising content according to the needs of advertisers. This kind of service can meet advertisers’ personalized needs for advertising content and improve the pertinence and attractiveness of advertising. The cost of customized advertising services is usually priced based on factors such as the complexity of the advertising content, design difficulty, and production cycle.
- Cross-platform cooperation:
Cooperate with other advertising platforms or merchants for promotion and maximize advertising benefits by sharing resources and exchanging needs. Cross-platform cooperation can expand advertising coverage and increase advertising exposure, thereby increasing revenue. Cooperation fees are usually negotiated based on the cooperation method and the value of the cooperation content.
